Research Data Lifecycle (RDLC) by Jie Jiang, Danielle Maurici-Pollock, Rong Tang

“…Our stage and shape analysis also outlined key characteristics of the RDLC models by showing the commonalities and variations of named stages and varying structures of the models. As one of the first empirical investigations examining the deep substance of the RDLC models, our study provides significant insights into the context and setting where the models were developed, as well as the details with regard to the stages and shapes, and thereby identified gaps that may impact the use and value of the models. …”

Reinforcement learning-based real-time video streaming control and on-device training research by Huanhuan ZHANG, Anfu ZHOU, Huadong MA

“…Service platforms centered on the Internet of things and mobile Internet are in accelerating process.Hundreds of millions of end-users communicate through network real-time video services, which have become an irreplaceable core tool in human’s digital life.However, the Internet is becoming dynamic, and heterogeneous, which imposes stringent requirements on real-time video streaming control technology.Moreover, the QoE of real-time video is not satisfactory.An adaptive reinforcement learning-based video intelligent transmission algorithm was designed, which can deal with heterogeneous network environment.And then, an effective end-to-end on-device training framework was designed to decrease server overhead, and a detailed evaluation and analysis on the neural network design and structure was provided.Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively predict heterogeneous network bandwidth, and reduces the bandwidth prediction error by 48.48%, comparing with the representative streaming control algorithm.The effective bandwidth prediction can further improve the user QoE, such as improving the video fluency by 60.65%, and improving the video quality by 16.52%.Besides, the analysis can provide empirical insights for further study, and holds potential to push the development of intelligent video applications.…”

Design and Analysis of a Hybrid Exoskeleton for Upper Limb Rehabilitation by Wang Zheng, Liu Fanghua, Shao Jiawei, Wu Wanyi, Di Cheng

“…Finally, the trajectory planning of a typical motion is carried out by Matlab, and the smooth trajectory of the terminal centroid motion is obtained by Adams to verify the rationality of its kinematic analysis and structural design. The maximum load attitude is simulated by constrains the excess degrees of freedom, and the load characteristic curve is drawn, which lays the foundation for the selection of the drive and the construction of the prototype.…”

Relationship between middle school students' academic stress and physical exercise behavior from the perspective of Self-Determination Theory: The chained mediation of motivation a... by Kegang Zhao, Yichen Zhao, Weiqiang Xu

“…This cross-sectional study involve 290 middle school students (116 males, age = 13.76±0.96 years, grades 7-9) selected from a middle school in Xiamen, China. Structural equation modeling is used to analyze the data, revealing the following results: (1) Academic stress is significantly associated with middle school students' exercise behavior through the mediating role of exercise intention; (2) Controlled motivation, autonomous motivation, and exercise intention serve as chained mediators between academic stress and exercise behavior; (3) Academic stress is not associated with exercise intention through the parallel mediation of controlled and autonomous motivations. …”

Validation of existential fulfillment scale in Chinese university students by Jian Chen, Xiaoyan Chen, Chen Miao

“…We conducted item analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and assessments of criterion-related validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability.ResultsThe Chinese EFS consists of two dimensions—self-acceptance and self-breakthrough—across 14 items, reflecting cultural distinctions from the original model by combining the dimensions of self-actualization and self-transcendence. This revised structure aligns with Chinese cultural perspectives on individual growth, where self-actualization often integrates aspects of self-transcendence. …”

Dynamic Model Test Based on Shaking Table of Wudongde High Arch Dam by XIONG Kun, HU Qingyi, CAO Quxiu

“…At present,there are few examples of high arch dams subjected to earthquakes in China and abroad,and there is a lack of sufficient and effective observation data of prototype seismic damage.Based on the shaking table dynamic model test,the seismic behaviors and damage process are studied for the 270 m-high Wudongde arch dam.The dam’s seismic failure mode of the dam body and structural seismically weak parts under strong earthquakes are compared and its seismic safety is evaluated.The results show that the model test analysis can obtain natural vibration characteristics and dynamic responses such as acceleration,dynamic strain,and transverse joint aperture under earthquakes,which are consistent with the numerical calculation results.Under extremely strong earthquakes,there are local cracks with limited extension depth near the foundation surface of the dam.The main damage area lies in the middle and upper part of the dam body,and horizontal macroscopic cracks occur in the area within about 1/3 of the height below the dam crest connecting the upstream and downstream.It is proved that the Wudongde high arch dam has a better stress condition,a smaller transverse joint aperture,and a higher ultimate seismic capacity under the design and calibrated earthquakes.…”
